Discussion of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying,""That's right. Li Si, let's do as Deputy Xiaoyao says.”
"Here." Prime Minister Li Si replied before looking at Deputy Xiao Yao in shock.
In Prime Minister Li Si's memory, no one could change the decision of Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng. It had always been a one-sided decision, but now, Deputy Xiaoyao, Ying Liang, had done it.、
Deputy Xiao Yao Ying Liang did not know what Prime Minister Li Si was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely laugh.
In fact, it was not that Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, could not listen to the opinions of the people, but this opinion must not affect the future development of the Great Qin Empire. When Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, issued the 'expulsion order' back then, he wanted to expel all the 'talents' of the other six Shandong countries who had surprised the people of the Great Qin Empire.
However, it was not because Li Si, who was not from the Qin State, presented the 'admonition to expel the guests', which allowed Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, to see Li Si's talent and immediately withdraw the' expulsion order 'to welcome back the talents of the six states in Shandong. At this time, Li Si was put in an important position by Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, and began his glorious life.
The suggestion that Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang had made was based on the fact that the Great Qin Empire would be able to carry out a war to conquer the world in the future. Of course, Emperor Qin Ying Zheng would listen to his advice and change his decree.
Ying Liang, the Deputy of Xiao Yao, was also very happy to see that the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, was willing to change his decree. Although he had heard of this idea in his previous life, it was still much better than the Great Qin Empire 2,000 years ago. As for whether it was suitable or not, it would depend on Prime Minister Li Si.
"Your Majesty, if you want to conquer the entire world, just business taxes are not enough. I beg Your Majesty to give up on your previous prejudices and accept the talents of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy for the Great Qin Empire to use.”Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang said.
The words of Deputy Xiaoyao, Ying Liang, stunned Great General Wang Jian and Prime Minister Li Si. Although they knew that Deputy Xiaoyao, Ying Liang, had come to Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, to discuss the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, they did not expect him to be so bold and direct.
"Why would Duke Xiaoyao say that? One had to know that many of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy had once tried to stop the empire's unification. Putting everything else aside, just when they had sent troops to the Yan Country, the Mo Family had stopped Great Qin, causing tens of thousands of Great Qin soldiers to die under the Mo Family's traps. The Mo Family had a grudge against Great Qin.”Great General Wang Jian said excitedly.
Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang didn't look at General Wang Jian, but at Emperor Qin Ying Zheng and said,""Your Majesty, do you think so too?”
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was not as excited as Great General Wang Jian, but he did not agree directly either. Instead, he said,""Tell me, what benefits does subduing the Hundred Schools of Philosophy bring to the empire?”
Ying Liang knew that this was the most crucial step. If he could convince Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, to understand the importance of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy in the Great Qin Empire's future war against the world, then Ying Liang believed that Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, would be able to put down his past grievances against the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
"Your Majesty, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy's nurturing of talents is extremely important to Great Qin. Putting everything else aside, even Great Qin's Prime Minister, Li Si, had learned Confucianism and Legalism, and he had played a huge role in the war to unify the Great Qin Empire. Does His Majesty think that such talents are not enough?”
"Alright, even if Lord Li Si's talent is because of his hard work, and it's difficult for others to achieve it, if we spread the word that everyone in Great Qin can read and understand Great Qin's laws, then Great Qin will definitely be much more stable.”
At first, Emperor Ying Zheng had closed his eyes and listened to Duke Xiaoyao's explanation. He did not believe that he would be convinced. However, after Duke Xiaoyao gave the example of Prime Minister Li Si, he mentioned that all the people of Great Qin were literate, which would have a great impact on Great Qin. This made Emperor Ying Zheng yearn for it.
In this era, being able to read was not something that ordinary people could do. This was usually a privilege that only nobles had. Although the appearance of Confucius broke the blockade of knowledge by the nobles and made it no longer a privilege for the nobles, it was not something that anyone could learn. One had to know that Confucius still needed to accept a teacher's gift when he was a disciple.'
Among them, the 'binding strips' were ten pieces of dried meat. To ordinary people, it was a luxury, but Confucius still did it, not to mention the offerings to his teacher in other seasons.
"Then what should I do?" Qin Shi Huang asked.
"Your Majesty, we should use the talents of the Hundred Schools of Thought for the Empire.”Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang said.
"What do you mean by using talent?" Qin Shi Huang asked.
"For example, the Mohist mechanism, walking with wood and stone; Bronze opened his mouth to ask Gongshu. He believed that His Majesty had more or less heard of this saying.”Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang said.
"Yes, I know. This is the so-called description of the Mohist and Gongshu family's mechanism techniques in the pugilistic world.”Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng admitted.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, are you thinking about what would happen if the Mohist mechanism techniques were used on ordinary people's farming and improved farming tools? What would happen if he used the Gongshu family's mechanism technique on the siege mechanism?”Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang said.
"This?" Prime Minister Li Si and Great General Wang Jian did not dare to imagine that if they could use the Mohist and Gongshu family's mechanisms on the farming tools and siege machines used by the commoners, Great Qin would…
"If that's the case, not only will Great Qin's army suffer fewer casualties in future sieges, but they will also be able to congratulate the enemy City faster. Ordinary people could also cultivate more fields and harvest more food.”At the thought of this, Emperor Qin's eyes began to turn red.
Ying Liang, the Deputy of Xiao Yao, was impressed by how quickly Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, had expressed his thoughts. Although this was a simple idea for the people of the later generations, it was still the Great Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago. It was truly inhuman for Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, to have such thoughts.
"Yes, Your Majesty. If we can subdue the talents of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and use them for Great Qin, Great Qin will definitely: Learning is to use Confucianism, law is to use law, war is to use troops, mulberry is to use agriculture... These changes would definitely strengthen Great Qin's strength. At that time, Great Qin's residents would have ample food and clothing, businesses would flourish, and society would be stable. With Great Qin's well-equipped army, there would be nothing in the world that they could not take.”Deputy Xiao Yao said excitedly.
"As for the remnants of the six Shandong countries hiding in the shadows, what reason can they use to incite the people to rebel with them?”Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang said.
This time, not only were Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, Prime Minister Li Si, and Great General Wang Jian shocked, even Zhao Gao, who was accompanying them, was shocked.
